was signed between the Cyprus Sports Organisation and the Israeli Sports
Authority.

field of competitive sports, exchange of athletes, teams , coaches and
athletes with disabilities and participation in coaching camps, sharing

[02] The basis for Cyprus negotiations must be clear, House President says
A clearly defined negotiations' basis is a precondition for embarking in
Cyprus talks, House President Yiannakis Omirou said on Thursday. Omirou
received the US Ambassador in Nicosia John Koenig, who said from his
part that there is a "window of opportunity" for a Cyprus solution.
According to an official announcement, Omirou said peace talks were
in a deadlock, due to the intransigent stance of the Turkish side. He
added that there must be a clearly defined basis for negotiations,
taking into account relevant Security Council resolutions, High Level
agreements and EU principles.
Koenig said this period could provide a window of opportunity, given
developments in the wider region. The US, he went on, support efforts
for a Cyprus solution under UN aegis.
